A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4^2. If the car has a tangential speed of 30 what

is the distance between the car and the center of the track?

In uniform circular motion (circular motion at same speed), (tangential velocity)^2/radius = acceleration towards the center of the circle (centripetal acceleration) 
<span>Also, radius is the distance to the center of the circle (track). </span>
<span>So, in your case, 15.4m/s^2 = (30.0m/s)^2/(radius) </span>
<span>radius = (900.m^2/s^2) / (15.4m/s^2) </span>
<span>radius = 58.4m</span>

Answer:

58.44m

Step-by-step explanation:

Centripetal acceleration in a circular path is defined as follows:

a_{c}=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where a_{c} is the centripetal acceleration,  v is the tangential speed, and  r is the radius of the circle.

Since we need to know the distance between the car and the center of the track, we are looking for the radius of the circular track  r, so we clear for it in the last equation:

r=\frac{v^2}{a_{c}}

And since we have the following information:

centripetal acceleration: a_{c}=15.4m/s^2

tangential speed: v=30m/s

We substitute these values in the equation to find the radius:

r=\frac{v^2}{a_{c}}=\frac{(30m/s)^2}{15.4m/s^2}=\frac{900m^2/s^2}{15.4m/s^2}=58.44m

The distance between the car and the center of the track is 58.44m

the coordinates of a pentagon ABCDE are A(-5,4),B (1,4),C(1,-1), D(-2,-5) and E(-5,-1) what is the perimeter of the pentagon
kogti [31]
Perimeter is a continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometrical figure. perimeter of a pentagon = AB+BC+CD+DE+EA (that is 5 sided figure) 
so my plan is easy but effective, calculate all those distances using those coordinates with the aid of distance formular. then you add those distances algebraically .

At a local college 100 students were asked about their major fields of study. The results are shown below. What is the probabili
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student is a liberal arts or female, we have to add together all of the people who were female or liberal arts majors in the study. If we add those together, (15 + 18 + 17 + 20) we get 70. 70/100 can be simplified to 7/10.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

length = 2w - 3

l = length

w = width

2(length) + 2(width) = perimeter

2(2w - 3) + 2(w) = 60

6w -6 =60

w = 11

len = 2(11) - 3
